Rachel and Conrado are joined by Jose Solís, film and theatre critic extraordinaire, to talk about a doozy of a melodrama. It's the hugely popular 1959 version of the hugely popular novel Imitation of Life. Directed by Douglas Sirk and starring Lana Turner, Susan Kohnner, and Juanite Moore, the movie was Universal's most successful movie up to that point. Conrado thinks it's one of the most fascinating movies he's ever seen. Do you agree?
